The little girl's mother, Keinosha, told investigators she fell on Amelia during a fight with Ford the night before Amelia died

The Memphis Fire Department responded to a call June 24 at an apartment complex. There, they found Amelia and took her to a hospital in critical condition. She was later pronounced dead.

An autopsy on Amelia revealed several internal injuries, according to arrest affidavits including a 'fresh' liver laceration, multiple tears and lacerations internally, abdominal hemorrhaging, suspicions of punches or kicks to the abdomen, bruises on the scalp, face and head, and two rib fractures.

The affidavit states there was evidence that some of the injuries had been healing for a week to a month.

NiQuetta Baldridge Smith, Amelia's grandmother, told Fox13 that she was having a hard time coming to terms with the details.

'I read it some of it. But adjust, I couldn't stomach it it was just it was just sickening to know the abuse that she suffered at the hands of them,' Smith said. 'I've lost my grandbaby and my daughter. So, it's hard. It's really hard.'

Investigators believe the fact Ford and Taper did not call the emergency services after injuring her by falling on top of her, undoubtedly led to her death. Left, Amelia's tiny coffin

An affidavit said Ford and Taper gave inconsistent accounts of the events leading to Amelia's death.

Keinosha told investigators she fell on Amelia during a fight with Ford the night before Amelia died, according to the affidavit.

Keinosha said Ford pushed her and they tumbled onto the bed, which caused Amelia to be knocked onto the floor, and she subsequently fell onto the toddler.

She also admitted to throwing the 23-month-old into the pen, which caused the girl to hit her head on the corner.

Despite knowing her child was injured, Keinosha did not seek medical treatment at the time and waited at least 25 minutes before calling for help.
